Former Square president Hisashi Suzuki has resigned from his position on the company's board of directors. He was the point man for Masashi Miyamoto (Square's No.1 shareholder) throughout the 16 and 32 bit eras when Square did games for the Super Nintendo and Playstation. In 1996, he helped to establish DigiCube and was the chairmen of that company. When Square president Tomoyuki Takechi left in 2000, Suzuki led the company through two fiscal years of losses (caused mainly by the bad performance of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within). In December 2001 he handed off his position of leadership to the current Square president, Youichi Wada. Since the merger with Enix on April 1st, Suzuki has been serving on the company's board of directors. He cited personal reasons for his resignation.
